Identification of non-amidine inhibitors of acid-sensing ion channel-3 (ASIC3)

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Jul 15;21(14):4255-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.05.064. Epub 2011 May 27.

Abstract

A series of benzothiophene methyl amines were examined in an effort to identify non-amidine chemotypes with reduced polypharmacology from existing leads with the goal of finding potent ASIC3 channel blockers to advance the therapeutic evaluation of ASIC3 inhibition.
